  • You’re throwing back “It just works.” at them because you failed to maintain a Windows VM that you haven’t updated in FIVE YEARS? Not to mention that you really expect game dev studios test and support running a game in virtual box??

    If you want to do something tech savvy, that’s on you to do the tech part.

    This has to be one of the most wild “gamer” complaints I’ve ever seen.




  • That’s what makes this even more of an issue. The game isn’t procedural. They used procedural tooling but everything is set in stone now. They could’ve gone through and cleaned up and tweaked everything so it didn’t feel bland. Doesn’t sound like they did.

    I knew the writing/rpg aspect was going to be shallow like all of Bethesda games but, they always had fun exploration so this is unfortunate to me. It sounds like they reuse assets a lot, even in the main quest line. Like same buildings with the same enemy placement just on a different planet.






  • Do yourself a favor and pick up Dead Cells. It’s absolutely amazing.

    They’ve added so much content to it over the years but the runs are still like 30-45 minutes. The randomized items and gear are masterfully done. It’s like mini-diablo gear builds in 30 minutes, but better than recent Diablos. You get item synergies going etc.

    The platforming/combat is snappy and satisfying.

    It also understands what makes roguelike games fun that a lot of roguelite games miss. Each run feels different and new so it’s always exciting to start a new run.



  • I don’t think the recommendation is about knowing the rules.

    I think it’s recommended that Dark Urge is only played after your first play through because something with the character is going to drastically change the story and your decisions. Just judging from the name alone it sounds like you’re going to have to fight against the character to make decisions in the game that aren’t evil or what not.







  • The default homepage on Edge alone is enough to make me never use Edge willingly.

    I don’t know what that Bing/MSN abomination is but it’s reprehensible. It’s the most clickbait tabloid garbage I’ve ever seen. The fact that a company that makes hand over fist on enterprise is willing to sully their new browser with that fucking page makes me lose so much faith in humanity.

    I know it’s an easily changed setting but there’s millions and millions of people that won’t change it at home or at work being exposed to that garbage.
